Tipp not going to be as charitable as Clare were. Cant win a ball in the tipp half

That was one of the worst displays I have seen in ages. Hopefully they can improve in the second half at least

Amazing how inept these players are surely after this shambles the coaches should resign forthwith.

Poor Bunch at that age group.

Score flattered us.

Brian Hayes named to start Sunday. no need to risk him imo

He was part of the Clare senior managerial setup that won a league title a few years ago. Of course the game moves on and all, and of course perhaps this current crop of u20 players just aren't as good as previous ones as well.

That league final in 1998 was probably Seanie O'Farrell's finest game for Cork. It was the final when Waterford kind of announced themselves as more of a competitive force as well.

Going a bit further back to 1993 and we had that memorable trilogy of games against Wexford. We were sittting ducks for Clare in the championship a few weeks later though! A lovely day down the Pairc in the sunshine, there's no excuses for Cork not to get the job done tomorrow.

Unfortunately the 1B final between Waterford and Offaly will dilute the amount of support both ourselves and Tipp will have in the ground, but it is what it is. That game should've been played in Limerick or Thurles imo.

Comfortable win!

Limerick 0-13 Cork 0-24

Next up is Kerry in just 2 weeks!

We did all we could do and beat Limerick very comfortably. Hopefully we'll have a right cut off Kerry now the next day.

It was and we won that 1998 league final on the same weekend Cork City won the FAI cup as well.

We of course beat Limerick a few weeks later, for our first win championship win against anyone that wasn't Down or Kerry since the 1992 Munster Final.

Ger Loughnane and his the GAA have it in for us speech, Jimmy Cooneys whistle, Babs Keatings sheep in a heap and Waterford going on their first serious championship run since the early 1960's.

1998 was one memorable and crazy year in hurling history.

Looks to be pretty much game over before it's even half time. Our forwards are a serious unit

Delighted with that. Performance was flat last 10mins but game was over at that stage.

Always great to win a national final against the old enemy, and after 27 years it's great to finally bring the league trophy back home to Leeside.

It's our first trophy at senior level since we won Munster in 2018 as well. Let's drive on now and bring home the big one. Rebels Abu!
